The Reformation: Transforming the Catholic Church in England and Germany

DESCRIPTION

The Reformation was a pivotal religious movement that reshaped Christianity in the 16th century. In England, King Henry VIII declared himself the head of the Church after the Pope refused to grant him a divorce, leading to the establishment of the Church of England, also known as the Anglican Church. Meanwhile, in Germany, Martin Luther challenged the Catholic Church by posting his 95 Theses, condemning corrupt practices like selling indulgences. His actions sparked the Protestant movement, promoting the idea that individuals could interpret the Bible themselves.
